Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Bro..... A boost for your team !

GRAHAM POLL has received a major vote of confidence from the Premier League — by being put in charge of Saturday’s hate-filled North London derby between Gooners and Spurs.

Hope he sends off Lehmann. Never see a goalie kpkb so much. Come on man, this is football - a men's game not some pussy sports. Lehmann is better off playing netball. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

thats fabulous bro, a free role suits robbie keane perfectly. he is always running a lot and attacking the opponent from all sides.

jol is doing everything right to me, not talking cock to the press or shifting blame here and there like a certain wanker we know. but secretly though, i wish spurs old boy and current assistant coach chris hughton will take over the wheel one day.

haha... i dont know man, arsenal lost again last nite, to fulham. spurs will be facing 11 angry gunners this weekend for sure. lets choke those cannons and hope lehmann get lady fingers! :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

I have mentioned before that of the foreign coaches only Benitez and Jol dont blame everything under the sun for not getting results. This shows they are graceful. Wenger has aged alot during his 10yrs there. It must be stressful to think of excuses and blames when his team lost. :rolleyes:

After weekend defeat to Bolton, he admitted his team is too far behind to win the EPL and after last night's loss to Fulham, he says his team is still mathematically in it. Is he losing the plot?

After 2 straight defeats, I wouldnt be surprised if your team snatch a narrow victory. Hope Keane has the winning goal. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

i am sure you are as shocked with the final score as i am bro. wenger may have lost the plot but he got back a plantation. :D

Arsenal 3
Spurs 0

Arsenal's captain of the day, Gilberto scores the team's second goal with a well taken penalty kick.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

I was shocked with Spurs' display. No fluency, sigh. The midfiled let Keane and Bebatov down big time. Keane had to drop back and help them which left Bebatov isolated. No fault of Keane's though.

Anyways, the first goal was an offside. How can the ref asst call for offside when he wasnt in line with the play?

Chimbonda got to the ball first for the first penalty.

Why wasnt a freekick given when van Persie clearly used his hand to control the ball before being tripped by Jenas for the 2nd penalty.

Bad decisions by the officials. Spurs may have played badly but Arsenal needed help to win the game. The scoreline was flattering for the Gooners. :(

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Earlier in the day, there was more controversy at the Emirates Stadium where referee Graham Poll took centre stage as two disputed penalties helped Arsenal beat Spurs in the first north London derby at their new ground.

Arsenal led through a composed finish by Emmanuel Adebayor, although there was an element of offside, before Pascal Chimbonda was then harshly adjudged to have brought down Tomas Rosicky when he clearly touched the ball before the man.

Gilberto converted the spot kick, much to the dismay of Martin Jol, and the Brazilian got another from the spot when Jermaine Jenas brought down Robin van Persie, but only after the Dutchman had handled.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "We played with spirit, character, determination and good organisation against a good Tottenham team. The team are inspired by their ambition and they were disappointed by our last two results. We realised that, as a team, we have to give more.

"The two penalties looked to be penalties to me but it happens that you don't get them in some games." (Wenger's hint of admission his side was lucky?)

Spurs boss Martin Jol was diplomatic despite the disappointment of key decisions going against his side. "You can talk about the decisions and they probably did cost us goals, but I would be embarrassed to talk about them too much. We did not lose because of them.

"We saw that Thierry Henry was not playing and we knew Arsenal had lost recent games. We sensed this was an opportunity, so we are disappointed."

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

yes i read the papers, it should have been 0-0 but for arsenal's 12th player. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Spurs' 2-1 win over Boro...brings them to 10th in the table....well done...

Goals from Berbatov and Robbie Keane.....seals the game. Of cos Zokora and Boteng got sent off in the dying minutes

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

spurs' strikers are going to top the epl shooting list at this rate, the word is "prolific"!

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

someone diapped me 2 rep pts and left a remark "its still 3-0 to ARSENAL!", with the intention to hide, no nick or identification. so obviously this person is a female or a ah qua. but how come this female or ah kua is so interested in soccer? i thought they prefer netball or rumbutans?

hello xiao jie or ah qua, how are you? http://mods.soccergaming.tv/~iceblu/Ice/hello.gif

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London

http://msn.foxsports.com/id/6253422_7_1.jpg
Teemu Tainio of Tottenham Hotspur is mobbed by teammates as he celebrates his goal. Spurs clobbered Charlton 5-1.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Berbatov was brillant ..

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Man City 1 Spurs 2

Well done you Spurs!! The most important thing is to see improvement. Which im glad they did. Hope that Spurs will do well at the turn of the new year. And if Spurs do that, i hope all Spurs Supporters will continue to be humble just like Martin Jol:) and his players. Cheers

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

awesome away win bro! its really heating up below the top 2. spurs is now in 7th spot behind bolton and portsmouth, and just 3 pts away from 3rd team liverpool.

captain king will lead spurs to the top! :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Firstly congrats for the win, Bro.

Ledley King to lead Spurs to the top. Above Man Utd and Chelsea or top of the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal? :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

top of the the likes of bolton and portsmouth... :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

FEYENOORD No 1

hehehe... sorry bro castrol

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro can you ask feyenoord to give chance and let spurs go thru and win the UEFA cup eventually? next season dont need to give chance becos spurs is taking on real madrid and barcelona in the champions league! :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Errrr bro u so sure SPURS IS GOING TO CHAMPION LEAGUE next season providing spurs last game those players dun lao sai AGAIN? O ya it will be Chelski, MU, Liverpool & Spurs hoh :D Hope i won't get hantum by "Arse" fans freedom of speeches :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

arson wanker said next season let spurs replace arsenal in the champions league becos he want to focus on the coca cola league cup so his walcott boy can shine a bit. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Are u kidding bro? I would like to see Feyenoord win from Spurs but i do realize the chance is slim.

Hopefully this will be a match without riot between both side supporters, history back in 80's between this 2 clubs are still fresh in my mind... I'm not sure Feyenoord gonna play this match without public due they last match incident.. can check for me boh?

ya ya.. i like to see Spurs play in champions league, becoz of they coach.. me really support Jol. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

what happened during feyenoord's last match? did shinji ono use karate on his opponent?

now that you mentioned, jol is going to his home country for the tie. i do hope they allow the dutch chicks in at least. the last empty stadium i watched on tv was between serie A clubs catania and torino, and i heard all the coaching staff shouting and screaming in italian for the whole 90mins. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Can lah...not a problem to top the likes of bolton and portsmouth. Spurs should be playing in the UEFA cup regularly now as your team has a very decent squad with a respectable manager in Jol.

Knn, where got so 'lucky' for Arsenal to beat Spurs (with more than half the team down with food poisoning) in the last game to qualify for Champions League? hmmm......

Dein and Wenger cant magine Arsenal not playing Champions League in their new Emirates stadium... hmmmm x 2

Would Henry sign a new deal if Arsenal didnt beat Spurs and lost to Barcelona... hmmm x 3 :rolleyes:

Anyways, Spurs are known to be a cup team. Win the Carling cup this season ! Come on, you Lilywhites !

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Glory glory Tottenham Hotspur!

Ive been a Spurs nut for 20 years. Gone thru thick and thin, most of the time, I suffered a minor heart attack whenever I see them play. Despite having some great names like Clive Allen, Gary Mabbut, Gazza, Lineker, Klinsmann, Ginola, Sherri, Sir Les and Ramon Vega (GASP!), we were a mediocre side. But times have changed. From a club who was suffering from the verge of bankruptcy (1989), we are the biggest spenders in the league since 3 years ago..nevermind Chelsea, they are filthy rich!. And now, I beleive we are on track to at least challange for a CL place. But I still think we are a couple of seasons away of actually doing it. We won yesterday in the league cup against Southend. A scrappy win I must add, but at least we have won. Look forward for us to at least lift a Cup this season, with my eyes on The LC and UEFA Cups.

* Just to share with u guys, this is my THFC Team from the day I supported spurs (1985). Would love to put the likes of Blanchflower, Greaves, Mackay etc but this team I choose is from my lifetime as a Spurs supporter.

GK- Robinson (sub-Thorsvedt)
RB- Chimbonda (Fenwick or Carr)
LB- Van Den Hauwe (Ziege)
CB - King and Mabbut (Sol -I know, i know... and Popescu)
RM- Lennon (Waddle- he's actually a LM but could also play on the right)
LM- Ginola (Paul Allen)
CM- Gazza and Hoddle (Ossie and Villa)
FW- Lineker and Klinsmann (Sheringham and Clive Allen)

Have I left out anyone here???

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Eh, I would hand Ray Clemence the No.1 jersey

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

that fateful day the hotel got a new french chef... :D

henry is a delightful beauty, as like vieira, gilberto, pires and rosicky. somehow the wanker is always getting the right players for his team, but the striker department is still lacking. he sold anelka for a windfall, but i am not sure why he released wiltord, who was so good partnering henry that time.

but its too little too late for the gunners now, there is a new order in north london, and keane is the word.

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

bro, the uefa cup is already on its way to white hart lane trophy room, its only a matter of transportation and logistics. we will drink cordon bleu and smoke cuban cigars in may or june 2007.

wow i see you got those old powerful spurs names there, clive allen is probably still in the spurs coaching team now. he scored 49 goals in one season for spurs that time, even ian rush got to pay for his beer. :D

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

The days when Clemence was with Spurs, he was past his best, I would say. When he was there, Tony Parks was up there with him, so that time, its between those two. I would put Pat Jennings anytime but he left us for ARSE-nal. Hey...Robbo is doing well, despite some uncertainties this season where he is a suspect of letting in long range goals....

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

As a matter of fact, Yeah Clive is in our coaching personnel list. And so is Hans Seagers. We had Calderwood a couple of seasons ago but he left for the mighty Forest (!). Look forward to see old faithfulls like Sherri, Jamie Redknapp and Tim Sherwood in our coaching staff.

Ive put in my best Spurs team, now here is my worst team in my lifetime as a Spurs faithfull...

GK: Grodas (remember him? I bet u dont!..lol) (sub: Baardsen)
RB: Dean Austin (Stalteri)
LB: Timotee Athouba (Edinburgh)
CB: Ramon Vega, Stuart Nethercott (Chris Perry, Dean Richards)
RM: Darren Caskey (Illie Dumitrescu)
LM: Nicola Berti-he is actually a make shift LM...he's a DM. (Nayim - he made ammends while playing for Seville when he lobbed David "ron Jeremy" Seaman in the UEFA Cup Final.)
CM: David Howells, Steve Sedgley (Steve Hodge, Paul Stewert)
FW: Ronny Rosenthal, Chris Armstrong (Bobby Zamora- when he was with Spurs, Rory Allen)

Manager: Christian Gross, David Pleat, Glenda Hoddle, Santini and the list goes on and on....)

Re: Tottenham Hotspur - the Pride of London
 

Wah...mention Jennings and I recall his one handed OUT OF THE WORLD save in the '82 or '86 World Cup (if I am not wrong)

Robbo is a rather good in shot stopping. But long shots and crosses he is still very inexperience. Hope he learn fast in other attributes.
